On October 27, the 27th Men's Table Tennis World Cup was held in Paris, and the Chinese men's table tennis sent four generals, namely Wang Liqin, Ma Lin, Wang Hao and Ye Hao.

Among them, Wang Liqin, Ma Lin and Wang Hao were directly selected for the final list of the Paris Table Tennis World Cup by virtue of their world rankings. And Ye Hao has just made a comeback, although he has frequently participated in many ITTF Tour competitions recently, and has also achieved good results and gained a lot of points, but the world ranking is still outside the twentieth.

Ye Hao's selection for the Paris Table Tennis World Cup was actually a bit of luck, South Korea's Yoo Seungmin and Zhu Se-hyuk abstained, which left the qualification of the last Asian representative empty. Ye Hao was also able to successfully ascend to the throne because of this, so he cherished this opportunity quite much.

Ye Hao's goal in the Table Tennis World Cup this time is of course to go to the championship, but at the same time, he has another goal, that is, to use his first world championship trophy after his comeback as a gift to Yang Mi, which is full of sincerity in Ye Hao's opinion.

But these are just Ye Hao's goals, or good expectations, the championship has not yet arrived, and this trophy has been given away by default.

This time, the men's table tennis World Cup is divided into group stage and knockout round, as in the past. There are four groups of four athletes in each group, and the top two players in the group stage can enter the knockout stage.

Among them, the members of Group A are Wang Liqin, Chen Weixing, Seifer and Hensel, Group B includes Ye Hao, Pol, Samsolov and Glinka, which is the recognized group of death in this competition, Group C is composed of Marin, Schrager, Sheila and Liu Song, and Group D is composed of Wang Hao, Zhuang Zhiyuan, Elova and Casaba.

Ye Hao has fought against the other three people in Group B, to be precise, they have all been defeated by Ye Hao's subordinates. In the first game, Ye Hao played against the Greek star Glinka, and after the fierce competition in the first two games, the two fought to a 1:1 draw. Subsequently, Ye Hao won three games in a row, and finally won the first victory of the group stage with a total score of 4:1.

In the second game, Ye Hao's opponent was Belarusian veteran Samsonov. In this game, Ye Hao did not give full play to the traditional Chinese virtue of respecting the old and loving the young, and swept the opponent 4:0, leaving no thought for Lao Sa.

At the same time, there was a big upset in the group B game, that is, as the defending champion, Bol lost two games in a row in the group stage, and it was difficult to find a win, and he was basically confirmed to be eliminated in advance.

In the last game of the group stage, Ye Hao played against Bol, who had not tasted a win. After the start of the game, Ye Hao knew why the opponent lost all of them in the group stage, because Bol's game state was too bad! is also 4:0, Ye Hao did not give Bol face, swept and won, ranked first with a record of winning all the group stages, and advanced to the quarterfinals.

The other person in Group B who advanced was Glinka, in addition to losing one game to Ye Hao, the promotion list of the group was Marin and Schrager, and the group D was Wang Hao and Zhuang Zhiyuan who reached the quarterfinals.

Breaking through from the group stage is not difficult at all for the four Chinese players, and all four of them are the first in the group to advance. Therefore, in the 1/4 finals, the four members of the Chinese team will not meet. Among them, Wang Liqin VS Glinka, Ye Hao VS Chen Weixing, Ma Lin VS Zhuang Zhiyuan, Wang Hao VS Schrager.

Among the four opponents of the national table tennis, Ye Hao's opponent, the Austrian veteran Chen Weixing, is the weakest one. Therefore, in the end, Ye Hao won very easily, won the game 4:0 cleanly, and took the lead in advancing to the semifinals.

Wang Liqin's game against Glinka was relatively stalemate, especially in the first four games, the two fought to a 2:2 draw. However, Wang Liqin was still a step ahead, and finally gritted his teeth and persevered, won two games in a row, won the game 4:2, and advanced to the semifinals.

Ma Lin's opponent was Taiwan's first brother Zhuang Zhiyuan, and he won relatively easily, 11:6, 11:7, 11:6, 11:5, without encountering any challenge, and successfully advanced to the next round.

Wang Hao's opponent Schrager played quite well in this match, he led 3-2 in the first five games at one point, and almost won the match. However, after Wang Hao saved two final points in the sixth game, his momentum was boosted, and he won two games in a row, as if God helped him to win the final victory with a total score of 4:3.

In the end, this table tennis World Cup became the stage of the Chinese table tennis team, and the four players successfully met in the semifinals. Not only have the champions and runners-up lost their suspense, but even the third and fourth places have been taken. It can be said that, to a certain extent, the attention of the later games will be greatly reduced.

After all, this table tennis World Cup is held abroad, not in China itself, and it is doubtful how much interest foreign audiences are in the civil war of the Chinese team.

At the same time, for Ye Hao, for the rest of the Chinese team athletes, this is also a scene they don't want to see, because only they know that their teammates are much more difficult to deal with than foreign powerhouses.

The only happy person is probably the only one left the national table tennis coaching staff, this men's table tennis World Cup, they have completed the task ahead of schedule, and they don't need to worry about it in the future, and they don't need to guide the players on the court, because it's all a civil war.

The semi-final match was also interesting, with two veteran players, Marin and Wang Liqin, being grouped together and competing for a spot in the final. At the same time, there is a special meaning for Wang Liqin, he has never been involved in the singles championship of the Table Tennis World Cup.

The remaining Ye Hao and Wang Hao are naturally opponents in the other group of semifinals, and the "battle of Shuanghao" sounded the horn again.

The semi-finals between Marin and Wang Liqin started first, and after the game began, Marin played very well, while Wang Liqin seemed a little slow and even out of shape. I don't know if it's because he paid too much attention to this champion who had never been touched, but Wang Liqin himself was distracted, and he withered more and more, which was not a normal game performance at all.

In the end, Marin easily swept Wang Liqin with a score of 4:0 and took the lead in getting the chance to enter the finals, and Wang Liqin fell on the road to the championship of the Table Tennis World Cup again.

The remaining other finals will be produced in Ye Hao and Wang Hao. At this time, as for who can win this semi-final, most people feel that Ye Hao has more hope.

On the one hand, in terms of his own strength, Ye Hao is stronger, on the other hand, Ye Hao has just won the men's singles championship of the Guangzhou Station of the China Table Tennis Open, and he is in good shape. It was in such an unfavored situation that Wang Hao held his breath and began to compete with Ye Hao.
